Bummer: Pentagon Boots Multiple Credentialed Media Outlets From Press Room

This is going to leave a mark

Trump Pentagon Boots NBC, NYT, NPR, Politico to Make Room for NYP, Breitbart News, OANN, HuffPost

The Trump Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a massive overhaul of its practice allowing journalists to work from inside the building is beginning a program to remove four establishment media news outlets from their workspaces for one year to replace them with new media outlets, including Breitbart News.

Acting Pentagon Press Secretary John Ullyot issued a memo on Friday to the Pentagon Press Association announcing that the NBC News, the New York Times, National Public Radio, and Politico must give up their physical workspaces in the Pentagon for one year to the New York Post, Breitbart News, and the Huffington Post.

“Each year, one outlet from each press medium — print, online, television and radio — that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps,” the memo said.

The Pentagon is giving those outlets two weeks to vacate their offices, effective Friday, February 15, 2025.

It is funny the ones that were picked to boot, isn’t it? The NY Times is supposed to be THE biggest, most important newspaper in the country, yet, they were booted. Will they be back at some point during Trump’s term? I doubt it. Will any of the others make it back? And to be replaced with 3 typically reliable conservative outlets? Excellent. Was the Huffington Post (a pretty darned hard uber-leftist outlet) put in just to say “no, we’re totally fair on doing this”? This is going to be a fun 4 years, and it might be that reporters start asking better questions, ones that solicit actual information the American People need to know, rather than attempting to be activism and insanity.

The White House is also opening up seats for other outlets, though, not booting

(Resist The Mainstream) The packed press room reflected the administration’s new approach, as Leavitt emphasized the commitment to broadening media access.

“This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment. It’s why our team will work diligently to restore the press passes of the 440 journalists whose passes were wrongly revoked by the previous administration,” she stated.

Leavitt also underscored the declining trust in legacy media and reaffirmed that the Trump administration welcomes independent journalists, podcasters and content creators to cover the White House.

Among the first outlets granted access to these seats were Breitbart and Axios, with representatives from The Post Millennial, The Daily Wire and other emerging news platforms also in attendance.

Excellent stuff. And, unlike during the Biden-Harris admin, Leavitt and others will actually answer questions rather than bloviating and circling back and rarely answering anything.

    Well, of course.

    Note that the main objective of Il Douche’s handlers is a permanent right-wing government. Il Douche is merely their useful idiot. Silencing critics is an important component of their plan. And they’re in a hurry before the mass of Americans know what’s happened.

  2. Elwood P Dowd says:

    Yep, we’re sure Breitbart “News” will ask hard hitting questions. LOL.

    The video of trump mimicking masturbating two gay men at once is not as impressive as Mr Teach believes.

  4. drowningpuppies says:

    Oh really! Wonder why.


    In an announcement Friday, the Army, which disclosed the names of the two other soldiers in the chopper who died, said the woman’s family requested her identity be withheld from the public.

    Uh huh… sure.

      Some say “she” was a one-armed, Black, Muslim radical tranny with schizophrenia, and a death wish. It’s being hidden for now, but someone claimed they heard Allehu Akbar (God is Great!) just before the crash, just a President Trump hinted. Terrorist attack planned during the Biden admin to hurt President Trump/

      • drowningpuppies says:

        Rather flippant about the deaths of 67 people, Rimjob.
        Have you no empathy?
        Or are you just upset that Trump might be right? Again?

        Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
        MAGA47 Motherfucker!

    Do you lads support a law or policy to limit airline pilots and Air Traffic Controllers to caucasian, non-Hispanic, christian, straight males as Big Donnie wants?

    Maybe Il Douche can make his FAA require names, photos and descriptions of the pilots and co-pilots of commerical flights so that passengers can choose with whom to fly. Black man Denzel Washington was an alcolholic and flew his full passenger jet upside down!!

    And answer this. We used to have only caucasian, non-Hispanic male pilots and Controllers and used to have MORE accidents, even with fewer flights overall!! It’s safer now. How is that possible?

    BTW, the pilot of the Flight 5342 was Captain Jonathan Campos, 34. Campos is a very Mexican-sounding name/ isn’t it, and his photo confirms it – definitely DEI, just as Fat Donnie said. Campos was also unmarried, suggesting that he was gay. He was of Puerto Rican heritage, so not even American! Curiously, he became a pilot during trump’s first reign.

    We’ll never know if a white, straight male pilot in Flight 5342 could have avoided the tragedy.

    In the helicopter were soldiers Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, and suspiciously, an unidentied “female” with 500 hours of flight experience. The family asked her name not be released. Probably, Aisha, Fayroo or Santiaga or similar, no doubt DEI.

    The name of the Controller has not be released. Wonder why, LOL? Probably a mentally ill, trans, one-armed, paralyzed dwarf like King Donald said.

    Trump administration fires prosecutors involved in Jan. 6 cases and moves toward ousting FBI agents

    The Trump administration on Friday fired a group of prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 criminal cases and demanded the names of FBI agents involved in those same probes so they can possibly be ousted, moves that reflect a White House determination to exert control over federal law enforcement and purge agencies of career employees seen as insufficiently loyal.

    Bwaha!

      Agents in DoJ and FBI who would misuse their authority to deprive American citizens of their civil rights because of who they voted for, should lose that authority. This should be obvious.

        Professor,

        One step at a time, please.

        Were the police/FBI wrong to arrest the Jan 6 rioters?

        Many hundreds if not a few thousand “protesters” broke through police barricades and fences, entering off-limit spaces, assaulting police officers, at exactly the time Congress was attempting to certify the election. They broke windows and doors, used pepper spray and beat some officers with poles.

      Were the prosecutors wrong to investigate and recommend charges? If so, why?

      BTW, Donnie believes he is the King, but he has little clue about American governance.

  9. Elwood P Dowd says:

    Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation and their puppet, Big Donnie, believe a US President is the King (if He is a conservative Republicun).

    With the Supreme Court giving King Donald immunity, Donnie will just ignore lower court orders. “What are ya’ gonna do about it?” Nothing. There is little consequence for a rogue president like Nixon or trump. Impeachment? LOL. Big Donnie is installing sycophants and fools, although Gaetz was step too far for even the obedient Republicuns. Loyalty is more important than merit, or America, for that matter.

    An Amendment 25, Section 4, coup? By VP Jaded Vance? Get serious, he’s an oleaginous pussy.

    Section 4
    Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
